To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY H. SCHBOYER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, in the county of Cool; and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in eather- Strips; and I do hereby'declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying.drawings,-and to the numbers of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

' This invention relates to new and useful improvements in weather strips'adaptable to eneral use, but it is shown. more particu-- provide a weather stripping means which .will afiord a guide and retaining means for the sliding window sash.

It is furthermore an object 0f this inven;

tion to provide weather stripping means be tween the sliding stiles-of a window sash and the frame therefor, which serves as a guide and retaining means for the sash, and

is impervious to weather conditions.

It is finally an important object of this invention to provide a simple, durable and inexpensive weather strip adapted. to effectually seal the window.

The invention (in a preferred form) eon sists in the matters hereinafter described and more fully pointed out and defined in the appended claims.

in the drawings: Fi

t ior vie elevation. 6 is a section on line M of Fig. 4. Fig. is an enlarged fragmentary sectional detail illustrating the relation of the weather stripping elements.

As shown in the drawings: The outer sliding sash of a car window is designated by the reference numeral 1, said sash comprising a bottom rail 2, and stiles 3, and, together with -an inner sash 4, is slidably mounted in the window frame. As shown, said inner sash is adapted to slide between inner and outer stops-5 and 6, respectively, comprising strips of resilient metal which are suitably engaged in window posts'of a car frame. As shown in Fig. 3, each of said inner and outer sashes closes down wardly upon an inclined outer sill '7, which has connected therewith, as is usual, aninnor sill 8, on the interior of the ear,

Secured on the outside and fiirming a part of the 'car' window posts are cheek plates 9, which are, as shown, channeled sections and provided at their edges with laterally extended flanges 1O The stiles 3, of he outer sash are providedin their outer faces for'their whole length each with a longitudinally extending stepped recess or rabbet, in which is rigidly'secured a small T bar 11, with the outer face thereof flush with the outer face of the stile memher. -As shown, one flange of said T member fits closely in one of the stepped recesses of the stile, and the other flange projects partially over the other stepped recess inv said stile, thereby affording a groove to receive the flange 10, of the cheek plate. As shown inFigs. land 2, said outer cheek plate 9, ezktendsover andaround each of the window posts to-afford theengaging flanges 10, for one sideof the adjacent outer window sashes.

Means are provided within the stops 6', to retain the inner sash 4, closely against the inner stop 5. Such means comprises an angled resilient bar 12, spot welded on the inner side of the stops 6, at one of its ext; ie ad with the out end stamped it is seen that the cup member 18, is pressed bars 11 arethen'secured to the sash from the outside, thereby inelosi'ng the flanges 10, within the grooves so formed to retain the sash in place. The outer stops 6, are next placedin position in the window posts and the sash 4'mounted from the interior of the car, after which the inner stops 5, are

sprung into place. It will be readily seen from the. drawings that the outer sash is allowed a certain amount of transverse movement or play between the stop 6, and the Weather strip flange 10. This is for the purpose of permitting the extended flange of the T bar 11, to be forced tightly against the flange 10, due to wind pressure when the car is in motion, thereby affording an automatically acting weather strip in which the sealing effect is ztugmented by the tendency of the air to force its way inwardly be tween the sash and the frame. Of course, where'the Window posts, asshown in Figs. 1 and 2, happen to be of slightly different construction, it is only necessary to remove the inner and outer stops -5 and 6, respectively from the narrow posts inasmuch as the. grooves therein for the reception of said stops will permit manipulation of the sashes around the stops 5, and 6, of the wider posts for the positioning of the sashes.

I am aware that details of the construction are open to wide variation without departing from the principles of my -invention, and I therefore do not purpose limiting the atent granted otherwise than necessitated y the priorart.

I claim as my invention:

1. In a car window construction, a win dow'post, a sliding window sash, a cheek plate secured On the window post, a flange on said cheek plate engaging the outer face of said sash, and a bar on said sash overlying said flange.

In a window construction, the combination with the sliding sashes of adjacent windows, of a check plate secured on the window post between said windows, flanges on said check plate engaging the outer faces of the adjacent window sashes to afford a seal therefor, and bars on said sashes overlying said flanges.

3. In a device of -the class described, the combination with the grooved sliding sashes of adjacent windows, of cheek plates secured on the window posts between said windows, flanges on each of said cheek plates engaging in the grooves of adjacent window sashes to afford a seal therefor, and bars on said 7 sashes o erlying said flanges.

4. In a car window construction, a series of sliding grooved sashes, an integral flange member between each of said sashes afford ing means engaging in the grooves of adjacent sashes to afford a guide and. sealing means therefor, and bars on said. sashes overlying said flanges.

5. In a car window construction, a win dow post, a channeled member extending around the exterior thereof, a grooved sliding sash on each side of said window post, flanges on said channeled member adapted to engage in the said grooves to afford a guide and seal therefor, and bars on said sashes overlying said flanges.

In a car window construction, a window post, a sliding window sash having a stepped recess in the stile thereof, a T bar rigidly engaged therein affording a groove,

a cheek plate on said window post, and a flangethereon adapted to engage in said groove to afford retaining and sealing means for said sash.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
